Campus Groups + Committees

Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability Committee:

In March of 2007 President Lawton created the Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Committee (ESSC), with the charge of identifying how we as a university could ideally care for our planet in our actions, while balancing real world complexities such as fiscal constraints and competing values. The committee comprises students, faculty and staff and meets regularly to discuss campus programs, events and initiatives related to sustainability.

Committee Members include:

Dr. Ernest Rose, Chair SVP of Academic Affairs	Dr. Brian Treanor Professor of Philosophy	Clarence E. Griffin Dir. of Community & Government Relations

ECO Students: 

ECO Students (Environmentally Conscious and Organized) was founded in the Fall of 2006 to promote sustainability across the LMU campus and form strategic partnerships between students, faculty and staff to raise awareness about the threats posed by global warming and climate change. The 2006 Bellarmine Forum was a key factor in mobilizing LMU students to take action in our personal lives and across our campus.

One of the first actions of ECO Students was successfully petitioning the university to pursue LEED certification for the new Hannon Library. Since then, the group has sponsored water bottle giveaways, a dorm energy competition and hosted Focus the Nation, a week-long series of events held on campuses nationwide to highlight environmental issues.
